Getting there

Car

From the South West region, drive northeast towards the Great Northern Highway (National Route 1). Depending on your starting point, you may need to take local roads to reach the Great Northern Highway. Once on the Great Northern Highway, continue driving for approximately 800 km. Look for the turn-off to Purnululu National Park, which will be well-signposted. The last 53 km to the Bungle Bungles is on unsealed roads; a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Please check the road conditions before starting your journey, as they can be affected by weather and maintenance.

Public Transportation

Take a bus service from Perth to Kununurra. Companies like Greyhound Australia operate this route. The journey takes about 36 hours, so prepare for a long ride. Once in Kununurra, you will need to hire a 4WD vehicle or book a tour that includes transportation to Purnululu National Park. It is approximately 300 km from Kununurra to the park, with the last 53 km on unsealed roads. Make sure to check the availability of tours and book in advance, as they can fill up quickly, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Tour Operator

Consider booking a guided tour from Perth or Kununurra that includes transportation to the Bungle Bungles. Several tour operators offer packages that include transport, accommodation, and guided experiences in Purnululu National Park. This option is highly recommended for those unfamiliar with the area or those who prefer not to drive. Prices vary based on the length and inclusions of the tour, so check details before booking.
